Privacy is the precondition for many of our freedoms. It’s the point at which government and corporate reach end and our individual freedoms and self-sovereignty begin. As our lives have moved online, privacy’s become a rare, vanishing commodity. That’s why we founded Cypherpunk (@cypherpunktech) — a company dedicated to privacy and self-sovereignty. We will execute on our mission by accumulating, building, and supporting privacy-protecting assets and technologies at a time when the world needs them more than ever. To that end, Cypherpunk — Ticker: $LPTX (today), $CYPH (tomorrow) — was launched with a $50 million investment from @winklevosscap to begin accumulating Zcash ($ZEC) at what we believe to be a significant discount to Zcash’s true long-term value. Cypherpunk currently holds 203,775 ZEC purchased at an average price of ~$245 per coin, representing ~1.25% of the current ZEC supply. We plan to continue accumulating ZEC rapidly so that Cypherpunk owns at least 5% of the total ZEC supply. Since Zcash’s launch 9 years ago, we’ve observed its highly symbiotic relationship with bitcoin. Zcash is a fork of Bitcoin and shares identical tokenomics — both have a fixed total supply of 21 million coins. If bitcoin is digital gold, Zcash is encrypted bitcoin, or digital cash. One is your store of value, the other is how you privately move your value. We’ve been tracking this symbiosis for years and believe that now — as we enter the age of AI — is the right time to begin accumulating ZEC. We feel strongly that Zcash could become a meaningful percentage of Bitcoin’s market capitalization — just on the merits of it being a privacy hedge or insurance policy to Bitcoin’s transparency alone. We believe bitcoin will continue to ascend to $1,000,000 per coin over the next 5-10 years. We also believe Zcash will appreciate significantly from here as well. These coins go hand in hand. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to lay out our thesis. In the meantime, we’re excited to have you join us as we stack zats and invest in other technologies that promote privacy and self-sovereignty. Let us proceed together apace. Onward.

.@vladcostea on Zcash: "To a great degree, Zcash is like Bitcoin in 2013: the enthusiasm, the adoption happening in such a short time, and the mistakes along the way that strengthen the protocol but also scare away some market participants." Early.

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

This is what compounding looks like at the highest level

Great breakdown by @AntonioGracias on why you should always HODL your SpaceX stock.

Just purchased the Red, White, and GOAT combo on @Gemini Predictions. USA wins Argentina wins Portugal wins Let’s go! ⚽️🥅🏟️

Good response to the communists 🇺🇸🚀

No, you don't get it. He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies. To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined. Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems". $100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12 If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation. But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

super fun event at @gemini today learning about their take on prediction markets! really cool to see how they're thinking about market design liquidity for these things, especially from the institutional side

.@tyler and @cameron explaining their gold 2.0 thesis in 2017 when bitcoin was $17k "Whatever your reasons for investing in gold, whether is scarcity, durability, portability, fungibility. We think that bitcoin matches or beats gold across the board on all of those categories" "It's actually not scarce, it's fixed. You can send it around like an email. It's a lot harder to do that with a bar of gold" "The marketcap of bitcoin right now is $300 billion. The market cap of gold is $6 trillion." "We've been saying this since the market cap of bitcoin was $1 billion. We're 300x more correct today and we think theres a chance we'll be 20x more correct from here on out"

Cypherpunk is public privacy

We have a few open design and marketing roles Marketing: Growth marketer (advanced trading products) Community engagement Design: Brand designer Brand design engineer Product designer Looking for chronically online, interested in building iconic predictions experiences, creating content, and wants their work to be seen by the world. DMs are open 💌

🏀🌆

.@mert on why he believes in Zcash: "While there are still people in jail for writing privacy code, this is the time to make the push. Zcash embodies what the cypherpunks built crypto for: cryptography for individual rights and privacy." The original thesis is still intact.

💯

We will be ready at @Gemini for Ironwood

RT @zooko: x.com/i/article/206309591285…

Ironwood gives every Zcash holder a trustless guarantee of supply integrity. Formally verified circuit. Independent audits. Turnstile-bounded. Target: late July 2026. The Zcash core teams turned a patched soundness bug into the strongest answer in crypto.

.@mert on Zcash's future: "The next upgrade is a formally verified, quantum-proof and more scalable shielded pool in Tachyon. One of the most bullish possible network upgrades I've seen in the history of crypto." Zcash is unstoppable private money.
